Deise Dynamo has been placed in all three starts over this trip and should be thereabouts again. Smadynium has won over 2m1f here on heavy ground and also scored at Musselburgh before coming unstuck at that track last month while Phase Shift is one for the short-list. Brian Ellison's mare wasn't beaten far over course and distance on her penultimate start and went one better at Doncaster next time. WALKABOUT CREEK looks the more progressive, however, and was impressive when landing one of the qualifiers for this here at the start of the month. Third-placed Walser will struggle to turn that form around on only 7lb better terms and Steve Gollings' charge also rates a better bet than Three White Socks and Gonow.
